Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time, I met a man
Who believed in me more than I ever can.
He showed me love that was so true
That kind of love I never thought I’d knew.

But I got scared so I pushed him away
Although I loved him, I dared not say.
I told him I only see him as a friend
And it’ll stay that way till the very end.

It broke my heart knowing he’s hurt
It hurt me too, but there’s nothing much I can do.
The worlds we live in are too far apart
I knew it wouldn’t work for us right from the start.

But he was persistent and continued to love me anyway
As I tried to deny what I really felt inside.
I did love him; I fell deeper each day
And I died a little more with every lie I’d say.

It then got harder to pretend I don’t care
He eventually realized my despair.
In the midst of tears, he saw love in my eyes
And he immediately knew everything I said were just lies.

At that very moment, I finally admitted
The love that I, oh, so carefully kept.
I opened my heart and took the risk
The hell with everything…and everyone who’d freak!

For the first time in my life, I was really happy
I felt proud and lucky to be just me.
But fate was cruel, I could not imagine how much
It seems not to want me to feel happiness as such.

As fast as destiny put this man into my life,
It took him away from me without warning…
And made me not stop crying…

Years passed and I learned to move on
The pain almost killed me but because of it I grew strong.
For the longest time, I have closed my eyes
But now it’s time for me to say goodbye.

Dreams do end and I have to accept that
I have to wake up now and stop all these crap.
But I’ll forever be thankful for that moment he was mine
And smile as I remember that once upon a time…
